Abuja: The Partners Assured for Tinubu (PAT) announced plans to inaugurate its national executive structures on November 20, aiming to bolster nationwide support for President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. This strategic launch is intended to deepen citizen engagement and enhance grassroots mobilisation efforts throughout the country.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, PAT’s National Secretary, Malam Najeeb Babalikita, emphasized the significance of the inauguration as a pivotal moment to rally Nigerians around a vision centered on stability, development, and inclusive progress. PAT, founded by long-standing associates of President Tinubu, describes itself as a pan-Nigerian organisation dedicated to national transformation and fostering improved communication between citizens and the government.
Babalikita detailed that the event will introduce PAT’s national working group and committees responsible for executing the organisation’s strategic initiatives. The operational framework aims to fortify collaboration among partners and stakeholders across all geopolitical zones, with a mission rooted in decades of political partnership and a profound understanding of President Tinubu’s leadership philosophy.
PAT Chairman, Mr. Usman Hassan, highlighted that the inauguration reinforces the group’s commitment to mobilising citizens, bridging communication gaps, and enhancing understanding of government policies. He emphasized PAT’s role as a reliable link between the populace and the government, aiming to amplify ongoing reforms and rectify misconceptions.
Director of Strategic Communications, Mr. Charles Akanji, pointed out that PAT consists of resourceful individuals dedicated to expanding the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda nationwide. He noted that many Nigerians, particularly in rural areas, remain unaware of crucial government programmes such as the NELFund initiative, which has benefited over 624,000 students yet garnered little public attention.
Akanji further mentioned that more than 71 million Nigerians have recently benefited from the Conditional Cash Transfer scheme. He also highlighted the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme, which supports over 250,000 graduates with monthly stipends and business starter packs. With a support base now spanning all 36 states, PAT has amassed more than two million supporters from various sectors.
